The CPU usage gets no higher than 60% (one core for the process - other is at 1-5% if the other server is empty), but the drops can happen at 60% or anywhere below, so the CPU usage seems to have no bearing on this. The memory usage does not change - I have memory that is not currently in use, so this seems not to be a factor either. I have no swap being used, the server is regularly rebooted to clear any memory that is not released (although as mentioned I have spare) and all servers except literally the ones to run the server have been stopped (but as mentioned CPU usage is never over 60%, and system use is negligable) I am totally confused as to why the fps will not stay above 100 when the hardware is clearly not struggling!! Would it be better to force is to use the 486 process instead of the 686?? -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux -- No virus found in this incoming message.

[hlds_linux] No response from server / console
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I have a strange problem with my servers, I restarted them this morning and now all of them appear to startup correctly, but they just do not respond! You can't even type anything in the console! I have tried restarting again, verifying, debugging, removing all plugins, but still no joy! Is anyone else suffering from this problem? Is it a steam issue? as it seems very strange that this should happen to all 3 of my servers -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
Re: [hlds_linux] [Question to Valve] High system load with CS Source server
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I have to agree entirely, it is about time that the linux build was looked into. I mean twice now they have released a linux build that just would not run - do they even test the linux side? If so they would see how much worse it performs over windows, which is bad when you think how bad windows is with memory and all the GUI taking up memory as well. Richard Fennell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: There has been an increasing utilization difference between SRCDS Windows and SRCDS Linux. I think the reason is due to Valve using the MS Visual C++ to code the engine (but i'm not sure). Personally i think this should be one of Valve's top issues because currently it is seriously effecting the amount of servers being run and the price of the servers. Providers will have to continually put prices up as the SRCDS Linux performance slides. This needs to be addressed ASAP as the online community is suffering. As an example, I moved a customers servers from a Windows installation to a Linux installation, the hardware stayed the same. Windows the customer was able to run 1 x 40 man server and 1 x 100 tick 12 man server with 1 slot SrcTV. Linux the customer struggled to run 1 x 32 man server (standard Fedora 4/5 with 1000hz kernel). The CPU is a AMD 3700 and has 1gig of DDR Memory. An AMD64 3500 will now not run 2 x 100 tick servers on Linux. Not being able to run 2 match servers on a 3500 is a little bit wrong surely? There are pro's and con's for running on each platform with many hoster's preferring Linux as their core OS. Windows 2003 server is too expensive and to host services on windows XP is illegal. We run console only stripped down versions of Fedora and see performance gains in all other games over the windows platform. Valve can you let us know why the performance is so different on the different platforms and is there any chance of it being looked into? I for one would be very happy to help beta test if required.

Re: [hlds_linux] Redirect - is it going to work anymore ?
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Some class it as abuse, others class it as a very handy and helpful function of a server.

[hlds_linux] srcds performance
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] This is really more of a question aimed towards Alfred and the development team, but when are we going to see some optimization of the linux srcds? It seems that thoughout this year the performance given by srcds on the same hardware has been getting worse and worse, giving fluctuating server fps and causing lag. I know that a lot of people have had to reduce their slots to 24 to try and get any sort of decent performance, even on 66 tick. Now I keep my server up-to-date and the hardware hasn't changed, and quite frankly I am starting to get really frustated with how srcds runs! If there are certain versions of libraries etc that are recommended to have then please tell us! I am willing to install new things if it will bring back the performance that we enjoyed earlier on this year. -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
